OUT.

HOPEFULLY A BIG TOM WILL COME SLIPPING BY.

>> THIS WEEK ON "KENTUCKY AFIELD" FIRST A GLIMPSE INTO THE LIFE OF SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN ACROSS THE STATE OVER THE PAST WEEK.

WE ARE TURKEY HUNTING.

>> THERE'S A GOBBLE LER 60, 70 YARDS AWAY.

>> NEXT.

ONE OF THE MOST ACTION-PACKED OUTDOOR OPPORTUNITIES IN THE STATE AND SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO, BOW FISHING.

THE THEN PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST OVERLOOKED OUTDOOR OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR AREA WHERE.

WE'RE BASS FISHING THE MIGHTY OHIO.

IT'S ALL NEXT ON "KENTUCKY AFIELD."

♪ >> HELLO AND WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY AFIELD."

I'M YOUR HOST CHAD MILES.

JOIN US AS WE JOURN AT THE COMMONWEALTH IN SEARCH OUTDOOR ADVENTURE.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPRING TURKEY SEASON.

LATER IN THE SEASON IF YOU FIND THAT THE BIRDS NOT BEING VOCAL, MAYBE THE BEST APPROACH IS FINDING OUTING WHERE THEY ROOST ISSETTING AND WAY ATING.

IT IS MAY AND WE ARE TURKEY HUNTING.

THIS YEAR THE SEASON COME IN LATE.

YOU CAN TELL BY HOW GREEN EVERYTHING IS.

THIS IS A VERY LATE TURKEY HUNT, PROBE NOT GOING TO HEAR MUCH GOBBLING AND BE LUCKY IF WE SEE A STRUTTING TOM, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU STILL WANT HUNT THESE TURKEYS.

GET OUT ONE THIS YEAR SO I'VE GOT A TAG LEFT.

I'M GOING SET UP IN AN AREA WHERE I'VE BEEN SEEING A BUNCH OF TURKEYS.

WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME LIGHT CALLING BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE READY TO GO AT ANY POINT IN TIME.

IF YOU HAVE A TAG IN YOUR POCKET WAITING TO BURN, I'VE GOT TO GIVE IT ONE MORE SHOT, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET A BIRD TODAY WEATHER TURNED OUT TO BE PERFECT FOR A FIELD HUNT.

A LOT OF SUN, SOME WIND.

WE THOUGHT WE'D COME SET UP ON A PLACE WE'RE PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH.

WE HUNTED IT LAST YEAR.

RIGHT THERE.

RAISED HIS HEAD.

WE HAVE HUNTED IN NUMEROUS HUN THIS SEASON.

NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO TAKE ONE.

BUT THIS IS A GREA WHERE THESE TURKEYS WALK THESE FIELD EDGES RIGHT IN THE WOODS RIGHT TO THIS POINT.

WE'RE SET GOT TWO DECOYS OUT.

AND HOPEFULLY A BIG TOM COMES SLIPPING BY.

[GOBBLING] >> OH, MY GOD.

THERE'S A GOBBLER 60, 70 YARDS AWAY.

OKAY.

THERE HE IS.

THERE HE IS.

IT'S BENGAL A GOBBLER.

DEFINITELY A GOBBLER.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO HEAR A GOBBLEEL GOBBLE THIS AFTERNOON.

HE'S WAY MORE INTERESTED IN FILLING HIS BELLY THAN HE IS IN OUR DECOYS RIGHT NOW.

HE'S IN RANGE.

I JUST GOT TO GET THE PERFECT SHOT OFF.

HE'S VERY CLOSE BEHIND THIS TREE.

I'VE GOT TO MOVE.

I'VE GOT HIM NOW.

NOW HE'S BEHIND THE TREE.

ALL RIGHT.

I'VE GOT HIM.

[SHOOTING] OH, MY GOD.

IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

WE JUST SET OUR DECOYS UP.

THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BE AB A BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON HUNT.

I'M CHECKING MY PHONE, HAVEN'T MADE A CALL.

AND A GOBBLE RIGHT THERE.

WE HAVEN'T HEARD A GOBBLE IN TWO WEEKS.

THIS IS A GOOD LONG BEARD.

I'M DRAGGING A BEARD COMING THROUGH THIS.

I'M EXCITED TO GO TAKE A LOOK.

OH, MAN.

WOW.

LOOK AT THIS BEARD.

TELL YOU WHAT, IT IS A FULL-GROWN MATURE BIRD.

WE HADN'T HEARD ANY GOBBLES IN A LONG TIME.

WE THOUGHT IF WE'LL SET UP IN THEIR TRAVEL CORRIDOR, AND WE CHRISTMAS EVE BEEN ROOSTING, HOPEFULLY WE CAN INTERSECT THEM.

DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE GOING TO COME AROUND AT 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THANK GOODNESS THIS JOKER GOBBLED AND LET US KNOW HE WAS COMING, FINALLY CAME IN AND GAVE US THE SHOT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THIS BIRD DOWN.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, LATER ON IN THE YEAR IT'S ALL ABOUT PERSISTS AND KNOW KNOWING THOSE TRAVEL ZONES.

I WANT TO GIVE SPECIAL THANKS TO THE HERB FARM FOR ALLOWS TO COME OUT HERE AND CHASE THESE TURKEYS.

WE HAVE HAD A BLAST.

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING THIS BIRD HOME, GETTING IT CLEANED UP, AND GETTING IT ON THE TABLE.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A NEW OUTDOOR ACTIVITY TO TRY THIS SUMMER, MAYBE YOU SHOULD PICK UPAL AN OLD BOW AND ARROW AND GIVE BOW FISHING A TRY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

YOU WANT TO STEP ON IN?

>> YES.

>> SO YOU TWO DO NOT NEED AN INTRODUCTION TO ONE ANOTHER.

YOU HAVE SEEN EACH OTHER AT MANY ARCHERY TOURNAMENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE FOR MANY YEARS NOW.

>> YES.

>> YES.

>> WELL, TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SHOOT SOME FISH.

T., I KNOW YOU SHOT FISH A LOT.

YOU HAVE A RIG.

>> YES.

>> AND YOU OBVIOUSLY SHOOT A BOW AND ARROW A LOT, BUT THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME, ISN'T IT?

>> THIS IS MY FIRST TIME BOW FISHING.

>> YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS BOW AND I KNOW YOU'RE A MUCH, MUCH BETTER ARCHER THAN I AM, BUT THE MAIN THING IS WHEN YOU PUT THIS ARROW YOU'VE GOT THIS.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S UP OR IT'S GOING TO THROW YOU OFF.

THE NEXT THING IS MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY OUT HERE IN FRONT, IN FRONT OF YOUR REEL.

OKAY?

YOU WANT THIS OUT HERE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO PAYMENT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A FISH MAYBE A SECOND OR TWO, AND IT'S POINT AND SHOOT.

AIM LOW.

AIM LOW.

AIM LOW.

YOU GUYS ARE REALLY UNIQUE IN THE FACT THAT BOTH OF YOU HAVE SHOT A PERFECT 300 SCORE.

>> MY FIRST 300 I WAS KIND OF SHOCKED.

WHENEVER I SHOT IT, IT WAS KIND OF CRAZY AT THE TIME.

IT JUST KIND OF HAPPENED.

I NEVER WANTED TO SHOOT COLLEGE ARCHERY SOMEWHERE BUT I WASN'T SURE AND I WAS LOOKING A FEW DIFFERENT ONES AND FINALLY DECIDED TO GO WITH THE LINDSEY WILSON AND WENT UP THERE AND TALKED THE TO COACH AND GOT A SCHOLARSHIP.

>> DID YOU GET HIMSOMEY.

>> , FISH ON.

>> THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT THERE.

FIND YOU ONE THAT -- THERE YOU GO.

>> THAT IS AN CARP SHOT RIGHT IN THE FACE.

THAT'S A WAY TO GET STARTED RIGHT THERE.

>> ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS CONCRETE THERE'S A BUNCH FISH.

>> JUST SHOOT SUSPECT SHOOT INTO THEM.

>> I THINK YOU GOT ONE ON.

PULL HIM ON IN.

WHAT YOU GOT?

ASIAN CARP.

HEY, YOUR FIRST FISH EVER RIGHT THERE.

NICE JOB.

PEOPLE COME AND SEE THESE DEAD FLOATING FISH HERE, AND WE LOOKED OVER AND THERE WERE TONS OF FISH LAYING RIGHT UNDER THEM, AND YOU SMOKED IT.

THAT IS AWESOME!

GOT ONE.

HEAD SHOT.

>> HEAD SHOT.

NICE.

SHE GOT THAT FISH.

LOOKY THERE.

RIGHT IN THE HEAD.

>> RIGHT IN THE TOP OF THE HEAD.

>> THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT RIGHT THERE NOW.

NOW, THAT FISH JUST COME UP BOLD AND YOU WAS FAST ENOUGH TO GET ON IT.

NOW, THAT IS AN AWESOME SHOT.

>> FLASH THE LIGHTS.

IT'S NOT QUITE DARK YET, BUT IF YOU STROBE THE LIGHTS WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WILL HAPPEN?

>> THEY START JUMPING.

IT SCARES THEM.

>> YOU MIGHT WANT TO IS THAT IT MIDDLE OF THE BOAT.

GET READY.

HERE YOU GO.

NOW YOU SEE WERE THEY TALK ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING HIT BY THESE THINGSIS.

GOING ACROSS THE LAKE ONE NIGHT WIDE OPEN.

WE JUMPED UP, HIT ME RIGHT DEAD IN THE CHEST.

IT WAS PROBABLY A 10-POUND SILVER.

>> TELL YOU WHAT, IT WILL TAKE THE WIND OUT OF YOU.

SOMETHING HIT THE BOTTOM.

>> YEAH, THAT WAS A FISH.

>> OH, GOT ONE.

A PRETTY ONE.

HE JUMPED RIGHT IN THE BOAT.

>> RIGHT DOWN THROUGH HERE IS USUALLY PRETTY GOOD.

>> HERE WE GO.

FISH ON.

OOH, COME LOOSE RIGHT THERE.

DID YOU SEE THAT?

SEE THAT RIGHT THERE?

OH!

THAT WAS A GOOD TRY.

GOT ONE.

I'M COMING YOUR WAY.

THERE WE GO THAT JOKER GOT ON THE PATROLLER MOTOR.

IT'S HARD TO SEE THEM BUT THAT FISH CAME FROM UNDER THE BOAT, SWAM UP.

GOT LUCKY.

THAT'S ONE OF THE EASIER SHOTS TO MAKE, WHEN THEY'RE SWIMMING ALONGSIDE WITH YOU.

GOT ONE ON RIGHT UP HERE.

THERE YOU GO.

WE GOT A FISH ON THE LEFT, FISH ON THE RIGHT, FISH JUMPING IN.

>> ARE YOU READY?

>> DID YOU GET ANY OH, MY GOODNESS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

>> THAT WAS AWESOME.

>> I THINK WE GOT A COUPLE.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

THAT WAS PRETTY EXCITING.

>> OH, YEAH.

>> DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN LIKE THAT?

BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK WE'VE HAD THAT MANY JUMPING AT US.

>> NO.

>> OH, MY GOODNESS.

>> SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU SHOT A BOW TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES.

FIRST TIME OUT ON A BOAT FISHING.

YOU HAVE HAD SOME PRETTY CRAZY EXPERIENCES ALREADY.

>> OH, YEAH.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?

SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TRY AGAIN?

>> DEFINITELY.

I'M DEFINITELY HAVING A BLAST.

>> YOU GOING TO BRING A HELMET AND MOUTHPIECE LATER?

>> BE PREPARED.

>> DO YOU THINK THIS BOW HELPS YOU.

>> I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE SETUP OF THE BOW SO IT DEFINITELY MAKES ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE SHOOTING IT.

>> THE PACE AND THE TIME OF A FULL DRAW AND RELEASE IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN GOING TO THE LINE AND WAITING FOR AS AIS.

WHISTLE.

WHEN THEY COME UP AND THEY START JUMPING AT YOU, YOU JUST GO AT IT.

>> AH!

THEY'RE BACK.

>> IT'S A CRAZY THING.

IT IS HARD TO REACT AND PICK ONE FISH OUT WHILE YOU'RE DODGING THEM IN AND IN AWE.

IT'S HARD TO PICK ONE OUT AND SHOOT.

>> IT AGAIN, THE BOAT WILL CATCH ENOUGH.

>> IT'S A LOT OF FUN, ISN'T IT?

A LOT OF ENERGY WHEN THEY START JUMPING IN THE BOAT.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS BRINGING US OUT AND SHOWING US THIS.

I KNOW YOU SHOOT FISH ALL THE TIME.

>> QUITE OFTEN.

>> I'D LOVE HAVE LOVE TO SIT OUT HERE ALL NIGHT AND DO THIS BUT YOU BELIEVE THE BUCKETS ARE FULL AND WEEKS, HEY, YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO GET TO SCHOOL, HAVEN'T YOU?

>> YEAH.

>> THIS IS A LOT OF FUN.

KEEP UP THE HARD WORK.

IT'S PAID OFF.

YOU'VE GOT A SCHOLARSHIP WAITING ON YOU AND YOU CAN GET AWAY FROM SHOOTING PAPER AND GET OUT HERE AND DO THIS.

THANKS A LOT, GUYS.

NICE MEETING YOU.

>> YOU TOO.

>> YOU AS WELL.

>> DURING IF SUMMER MONTHS THE OHIO RIVER STARTS TO STABILIZE, AND IT OFFERS AN UNDERUTILIZED RESOURCE, BASS FISHING.

WE'LL SAY IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE BASS FISHED THE OHIO RIVER.

>> WELL, WE'RE GOING TO BASS FISH THE OHIO RIVER TODAY.

THE RIVER IS CHALLENGING FISHERY.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE OUT IN THE MAIN RIVER, THE MAIN CHANNEL OF THE OHIO RIVER, AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PROBABLY SOME FISH OUT HERE BUT AS A RULE WE'RE GOING ON TO GO WANT TO LOOK FOR SOME CREEKS AND BACK WATERS.

THERE'S LESS CURRENT AND THEY HAVE A MORE SUCCESSFUL SPAWN.

>> WE'RE OFF THE MAIN LAKE IN THIS CREEK AND YOU HAVE FISHED UP HERE.

YOU SAID THE FISH IS A LITTLE BIT TOUGH.

>> A GOOD DAY YOU MAY BE CATCHING TEN, 15 FISHES.

>> IN THE SPRING, TEN, 12 POUNDS WOULD BE REALLY GOOD, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF TOURNAMENTS THE IT TAKES SEVEN TO EIGHT POUNDS TO WIN.

YOU SAY THAT'S NOT REAL GOOD.

>> AND IT'S AN EVER-CHANGING ENVIRONMENT.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO TRY TO PLAN YOUR FISHING TRIP BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE IN.

>> PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO WATCH THE WATER LEVELS OF THE.

TYPICALLY THE FALLING WATER IS GOING TO MAKE THE HARDEST RIVER FISHING BECAUSE THESE FISH WANT TO BE ON THE BANK, THEY THAN THE TWO SHALLOW.

THEY'RE GOING STOAT AND UP POST UP AROUND COVERAGE EVER COVER IN PLACES THAT'S GOING TO BREAK THE CURRENT FOR THEM AND MAKE A NATURAL AMBUSH SPOT.

HERE WE GO.

NICE FISH.

>> HERE YOU GO.

>> RIGHT ON THE BANK.

THAT ONE THERE, I THREW THAT LITTLE PLASTIC UP THERE.

>> YOU'VE GOT A SMALL BEAVER STYLE BAIT.

>> A LITTLE BEAVER STYLE BAIT.

SO WE'VE GOT ABOUT A 2-POUND FISH, AND IF WE WERE ON KENTUCKY BACTERIALLY RAKE YOU WOULDN'T RAISE AN EYEBROW BOUT OUT ON THE OHIO RIVER A 2 AND A QUARTER FOUND FISH.

>> WHEN YOU SET THE TOOK IT WAS.

>> WE GOT 8, 9 FEET IN THIS BACK WATER BUT THEY DON'T LIVE OUT THERE.

THEY LIVE ON THIS BANK.

>> IT'S REAL OR NOT.

RIVER, WANT YOU TO PRESERVE WHAT YOU GOT.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF TASTE CRAPPIE TO EAT.

WE'LL GET THIS BASS BACK IN THE WATER AND LET HIM SWIM AWAY.

ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT ON THE RIVER SEVER DAY YOU GO OUT EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR BAITS UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT THEY LIKE.

EVERY DAY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

JUST EXPERIMENT.

>> ANOTHER FISH, GUYS.

GET A LOAD OF THIS ONE.

>> HE'S RIGHT ON THE BANK AGAIN.

>> THAT'S ABOUT THE SAME SIZE FISH.

>> IT'S ANOTHER GOOD RIVER FISH.

>> AND THEY LIKE THAT BLACK AND BLUE TODAY.

>> BLACK AND BLUE IS ALWAYS TRUE ON THE RIVER.

SO THAT FISH THERE ACTUALLY, THIS ONE'S GOT A LITTLE MORE BELLY.

I THINK THAT ONE THERE MAY BE DOING A LITTLE SPAWNING.

NICE LITTLE RIVER FISH.

>> NICE JOB.

>> COOL.

THANK YOU.

>> GET THIS LYLE GUY BACK.

>> SOME PEOPLE WHO DO SOME TOURNAMENT FISHING, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE A PERSON THAT THEY HAVE IAN SEEN AROUND QUITE OFTEN.

YOU'VE BEEN IN THE BOAT INDUSTRY NOW FOR MANY YEARS.

>> IT'S PROBABLY BEEN 20 YEARS.

I STARTED OUT AS A YOUNG MAN CLEANING BOATS, DID SOME RIGGING, DEBT FINDERS AND TROLLING MORTS AND THEN I GOT INTO SALES.

I WORKED FOR DEALERSHIPS FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS, AND THEN STARTED MY OWN.

I STARTED AS KIND OF JUST A LABOR OF LOVE IN THE BASEMENT.

WE STARTED THE MARINE SELLING USED BOATS.

ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER AND NOW WE'VE GOT A CREW OF 14 PEOPLE AND WE SELL ABOUT 300 NEW AND USED BOATS OVER OUR ALEXANDRIA, KENTUCKY STORE.

IT'S BEEN SOMETHING I HAVE ENJOYED AND HELPING PEOPLE GET CONNECTED, AND THEY CAN GET OUT AND ENJOY THE WATER.

>> THE BOATING INDUSTRY HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL IN 20 YEARS, HAS IT?

>> BIG ONE, GUYS.

BIG FISH, GUYS.

OH, YEAH.

NOW, THIS IS LIKE CONNECT AN 8-POUNDER ON KENTUCKY LAKE.

>> THERE YOU GO.

>> LET'S SEE HERE.

OH, SHE JUST BARELY HOOKED, TOO.

COME TO DADDY.

I THINK WE JUST CAUGHT A UNICORN, CHAD.

>> I'M HERE TO TELL YOU WHAT.

WHEN YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO COME OUT HERE AND FISH THE OHIO RIVER, THIS IS NOT THE CLASS FISH I WAS EXPECTING.

THIS FISH IS DEFINITELY POST SWAN.

>> SHE HAD A REAL GOOD SPAWN.

IT'S SO GOOD TO KEEP THE GOOD GENETICS IN THE RIVER.

THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE GENERATIONS THAT WANT TO COME HERE AND FISH THESE BEAUTIFUL BASS.

THERE'S NO FIGHT LIKE A 4-POUND RIVER BASS.

WE'LL DEFINITELY GET HER BACK OUT IN THE WATER.

THERE SHE GOES.

>> NICE FISH, MAN.

>> THERE YOU GO.

GOUT ONE.

>> LOOK HERE.

OH, YEAH.

THERE WE GO.

>> HEY, THERE IS A DIFFERENT SPECIES OF BASS.

THIS IS A SPOTTED BASS.

YOU CAN TELL THAT FISH HAS GOT A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT COLOR.

AS SOON AS IT CAME TO THE TOP OF THE WATER, YOU COULD TELL THIS WAS NOT A REGULAR LARGE MOUTH.

YOU SEE THE LINES ON THE BELLY, HOW DEFINED THEY ARE.

THE LARGE BATH WON'T TYPICALLY BE LIKE THAT.

IF YOU CLOSE THAT JAW BONE, YOU SEE HOW THAT JAW BONE DOES NOT GO PAST THE A.

THE JAW BONE WILL BE BEYOND THE EYE.

THAT IS A KENTUCKY SPOTTED BASS.

>> THAT'S A KEEPER.

>> 12 INCHES, SO -- >> NOW IN THE TOURNAMENT THEY HAVE TO BE 12 INCHES TO WEIGH-IN.

>> GOOD JOB.

>> SEAN, I ASSUME YOU'VE BEEN FISHING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.

>> I'VE BEEN FISHING SINCE I WAS TEN YEARS OLD.

ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS ASKED ME TO GO FROG BEGINNING ONE DAY.

FROG GIGGING WASN'T GOOD AND BASS WERE SWIMMING AROUND.

HE HAD A ROD AND HE SHOWED ME TO YOU HOWE TO CAST IT AND I GOT A 2-POUND BASS.

THAT WAS THE NEATS THING THAT BASS BY THING AN ARTIFICIAL LURE AND JUMPING OUT OF THE WATER.

>> IT'S A GOOD DAY YOU WENT FROG BEGINNING, AND THE FROG GIG THAN THE WASN'T GOOD AND YOU'D BE SELLING FROG LIGHTS RIGHT NOW.

>> YOU IF THE FROG GIGGING WASN'T GOOD, I MAY NOT BE SELLING BASS BOATS, LIKE YOU SAID.

>> LOOK AT THAT, GUYS.

THERE WE GO.

>> DID YOU SEE THAT?

IF I HAD SET THE HOOK, WE WOULD HAVE HAD A BULLFROG.

FROG BEGINNING SEASON IS IN AND I DIDN'T INTENTIONALLY WANT TO CATCH THAT FROG BUT IT IS A LEGAL SAVINGS DONE THAT A LOT OF TIMES WATCHING FROGS ON A FISHING ROD AND REEL.

YOU NEED TO HAVE A FISHING LICENSE.

BUT THAT WAS -- I SLIPPED IT UP THERE TO SEE WHAT HIS REACTION WAS, AND IT WAS AGGRESSIVE.

>> WELL, THERE WE GO.

THAT'S ALMOST HOW I GOT MY START.

>> YEAH, THERE YOU GO.

SEAN, I BELIEVE WE'VE PRETTY MUCH FISHED THIS CREEK OUT.

THERE'S A BUNCH OF CREEKS ON THE HOVE RIVER.

>> THE SUN IS GETTING UP KIND OF HIGH.

I THINK WE NEED TO GET BACK IN SOME SHADE.

I'VE GOT ANOTHER SPOT.

>> LET'S STRAP THE POLES DOWN AND MAKE A RUN.

>> LET'S DO IT.

>> OH, THERE WE GO.

>> LOOKED LIKE A SPOTTED ONE WHEN I FIRST SAW.

>> IT IT'S A LARGE MOUTH.

>> IT IS A LARGE MOUTH.

>> JUST A LITTLE RIVER KEEPER.

NOTHING SPECIAL BUT THEY'RE PLENTIFUL AND EASY TO CATCH.

>> YOU WONDER IF YOU GO GET TOO SHALLOW, AND THE ANSWER IS NO.

>> THAT BASS IS NOT UP IN 6 INCHES OF WATER RIGHT THERE.

>> IT'S AMAZING YOU COULDN'T SEE THE FISH PRIOR TO STRAKING.

>> GET HIM BACK.

>> YOU WERE SAYING YOU LIKE TO FISH SPILOTRO CAL STUFF WHEN THE WATER IS FALLING.

>> WHEN WATER PHENOMENA, YOU WANT TO FISH MORE VERTICAL.

>> VERTICAL WHERE YOU HAVE TWO OR THREE FEET DROP.

>> CORRECT.

>> I KIND OF FLIPPED IN IT THERE AND HE HIT IT AS SOON AS IT HIT THE WATER.

HERE WE GO.

>> THERE YOU GO.

>> FIRST CRANK A BIT BITE WE'VE HAD TODAY.

>> PROBABLY IT'S ONE OF THOSE FISH WE SAW UP THERE CHASING.

>> IT'S JUST A LITTLE ONE.

MIGHT BE 12 INCHES LONG.

IT MIGHT BE A KEEPER.

I THINK IT IS A KEEPER.

HE ATE THAT SQUARE BAIT.

BLAH OH, HERE'S A GOOD ONE, GUYS.

HE'S GOT ME TANGLED UP.

WANT TO HELP ME OUT?

>> YES, SIR.

LET ME REACH DOWN AND GRAB THAT FISH.

YOU KEEP HIM PEGGED.

>> THERE YOU GO.

THERE YOU GO.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

NICE FISH.

>> SEAN, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THERE'S SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY.

>> WELL, THERE IS.
